Dear Ones, I am confused. When we massage clockwise, when we rotate clockwise, the 9 is the liver. Correct? Basic. Now in Awakening Healing Light of the Tao I am to prepare a meditation with a visualization in which you draw a spiral, clockwise with your minds-eye, from your 3rd Eye Point. It is written And a picture is shown stating the complete opposite. How can this be possible? First I thought the picture was maybe mirrored but the text is wrong translated aswell? This can not be possible, since this is a book for professional application. The text says: "Spiraling power with eyes open. Spiraling clockwise form the center has the power to condense the Chi at the center. 1. Open the eyes, and without moving the head, look up the crown of the head, then to the right, then straight down, and then left. [...]" Now, what is right, what is wrong? I have asked family members, I have asked in Q&A-communities, all say the 9 is where the liver is. So basicly "you" are the clock, you are not looking "at" the clock. Thanks for the clarification, in advance. Kind regards.

Okay I have figured it out by myself. I do not delete this topic since someone could find it useful aswell. Logic... When we use a (counter-)clockwise mechanic on Ourselves, then we act like we Are the clock. So the middle points Away from us. So the 9 is on the right, liver-region. WHen we use a (counter-)clockwise mechanic Infront of us, then we act like we Look at the clock. So the middle obviously points towards us, like with any clock out there. The 9 is on the left. A matter of perspective, that's it.

We ate nothing in the beginning, but we began to eat at a certain point. When? I do not know but I want to know allong my journey. Food is only for purification. It is medicine that we have turned into something so absurd... that makes us sick. Horrific. Veganism only works perfectly in a warmer climate I have witnessed, because you eat lots of colder foods. Which means their natural quality makes you feel cold. And feeling cold, when it is cold outside and having already 3layers of wool-pullovers on your body... makes you depressive non-theless. The diet-system in Tao is perfectly balanced. Since you want to balance your system in order to spiritually grow, this is perfect. Veganism is a perfect springboard when you are at a certain advanced level of spirituality and you are already well-centered. Then you cleanse your system and go more and more into liquid foods which lets you gradually get away from eating physical food, to only drinking water, to living again from pure cosmic energy, light, prana, thousand other words, all the same. And this, is our natural state. We were pure once and eating naturally connected us closer to the earth, made us re-incarnate into this system. Basicly this happened automatically and the actual spiritual growth, that is behind everything we are, was slowed drasticly. I mean where do people grow spiritually nowadays that are not interested in deeper spirituality? Either they pray and do it on a level of believes, which works rather unconscious or they purely do it in sleep. Like we all do every night, ascending our information. You can imagine how you bring things faster into place when you wake up, beome more and more conscious, grow your spirit and finally be able to exit the reincarnation cycle. It is written, that from the end of 21.12.2012 due to the female aspect of the earth (no precise dates happening, works more with emotions and feelings) up to somewhere in 2015 the earth will shift in it's totallity. And that means around 500.000 people will stay here and the rest has to leave. Those who stay here are ment to clean the earth. I can only assume those will be higher spiritual humans. I mean I already feel this to be true by the tingling I get inside my body when writing it, a spiritual "yes". Where the rest goes? No worries, we only have fear from he human perspective of dying. We "died" alot in our "past". Dying only means falling asleep and wake up to one of our dreams. Thats the whole mystery, to expand this a little for the purpose of - again - not creating fear. All the best

The food does nothing alone. Nothing did every anything unless a human being and it's totallity allows it. Living unconsciously is an allowing. So no one can be blamed, everything works as intended - from the perspective of The Universe. Yes, it is correct that every food has a certain quality to it. And this wants to be understood And experience by each person, how it affects the body. By eating food we automatically trigger emotions that are created by our organs. This is a natural stimulus, that once started when humans began to eat. Began? Yes, began. You can be sure that we were once connected directly to The Source and we can and we already are re-connecting here on this planet. This will be taught in elementary school all across the world not far from now, do not worry. There are no mysteries on this planet anymore. Everything starts to unveil itself, naturally. So you want to understand foods? Then you have to get away from eating for pleasure and eating for taste, fast! Because emotional eating covers up what wants to be filled up. And gradually we lose our animalistic bonds, gather higher vibrations and everything will come to a natural state of longevity. Immortality, since spiritual growth can happen effortlessly. Taoism truely offers everything: Giving you tools to understand each aspect of life. This is a great gift.

Dear Ones, I come from the West and we have no clue about haircare. Yes we don't. So we were raised with products that only mask our unhealthy lifestyle which automatically affects our hair. Since I choose to let my own hair grow longer than usual, how do I best take care of it? I am looking for the most basic of all information, nothing fancy. Simplicity what any monk used in the wilderness. This includes substances when washing (if any at all), drying and combing. Is there any record of substances used while washing the hair? Is hair getting dried by the wind or a towel or similar tool being used? Does one comb his hair? And if I have forgotten anything important, please let me know. Feel free to share any information you have. Kind regards.

Dear Ones, let me cross link the post I made regarding my own experience in Sun Gazing. http://thetaobums.com/topic/337-sungazing-quickstart-guide/?p=437343 This topic is highly important for humanity these days, since it boosts consciousness and personal development by lightyears! Feel free to comment on the original post (or here) - since I do not want to double post this here, just make the information more wider available to anyone who is interested. Namaste.

My recent discoveries show the following: You have to have information how sexual energies work in order to transform your sexual desire, obviously. This does not mean controlling them. More of that at the bottom of this post. If this information is not given through meditation, wisdom comes through an secondary source as information and is then applied, if one feels it is correct. That means, if one is uncertain that things wont work out for oneself, irritations are being created. Bias that has to be overcome with extends the initial process. So ask yourself: Do I want change? Or do I want to live out and find out what is it all about sexuality that I do not yet understand. If you want change, then you must drop "feels good/bad". The self-experience in this case (as always) is much more important and mostly does not feel good. But that just a matter of the polluted ego by our media, dont worry. If you want to try it all out, then DO SO! By all means. Really. Have Sex, lots of it! At best when you are already meditating and feel the heavy impact of it, how you get drained, how you fall asleep all the time during attempting to meditate and generally have no drive to do anything. I am grateful that I came to a stage in meditation where I witnessed how my higher aspect has made changes in my body. How chakras opened, how nerval pathways opened first with pain and then all flew into joy. And most importantly when your heart opens... THIS! is what will make you forget the world you life in, THIS! will make you realize what you are wasting. If you are into pornography, then I have to tell you now, before you maybe learn it later anyway by yourself, that you have officially become a victim of energy-vampirism which happens all the time in our society. You have to remove that triggering in your life, you want to come to a point where 10 naked women can dance infront of you and nothing moves in your pants, because you KNOW how much more precious your own sexual energy is! That is a goal along the road of understanding energies! A very, very important one. And when you dive deeper into energy practices (like you are with Taoism at the best source!), how everything connects and you consciously make choices for your own life and direct yourself right on the pathway of immortality. I always say to myself in times of doubt and desperation: There are so many spiritual beings all around me waiting for me to realize my spiritual nature and I am here contemplating to eat that fat cake or jerk off to that porn. In no way ever I am going back that road. I learn how to work with energies to gradually understands what immortality truely means. Once you are there and have... tasted that nectar of the most tiniest but already so incredible powerful parts of your eternal nature, you finally awaken and then PASSIVELY through your actions awaken the WHOLE world! This, my dear Visa-advertisement, is priceless. tl;dr: We do not want to control a desire, we want to understand what a desire is that wants to tell us that it wants to be controlled. Understanding creates wisdom and you naturally drop what you do not need. Controlling you do your sexual energy, but not the desire which is of a psychic nature. A unwholesome pattern of your mind that wants to be understood. Only a fool fights a war, wants to control something with force, he does not yet understand.

well there is a "hindu guy" who traveled the cosmos and was in himalaya only with a thin cloth during -50°C. he is "the" teacher that re-introduced sun-yoga from ancient scripts... maybe that helps aswell search google for "sun yoga uma sankar"

You generally should be... let me avoid the word "careful"... more aware with the moon. Since the moon can be seen as the aetheric body of the sun. Both "planets" can be seen as spiritual beings with different purposes. But you better research it for yourself, since moon-gazing is not in my being's interest. Have you ever heard of a red moon when a heavy war was going on on earth? Or that suicide rates are higher at full moon? This is no coincidence, there are no coincidences. You can balance your emotions when you actively interact with the moon. Staring into the moon, passively and hope for good weather will bring you unwanted negative aspects into your being. So you can speak affirmations into the moon, while gazing like "Dear entity, I now witness, we call moon, be kind and purify my emotions to a level of wellbeing/beneficial to all aspects of my being." Again, you have to interact in some active form This also goes for the sun. These are merely vehicles, very powerful ones! I am honest, I have to fully understood their purpose either. Some say we can only see them because we have the sun inside us, in our inner cosmos. I once thought about it that way, that the sun was created for us as a physical representation of God/Source, so we never forget when we are here. Anyway, always seek self-experience, mostly everything else is more or less meaningless Something to contemplate about, regarding the sun: When quantum physics are correct, and they are, and we live in a multiverse and the past, present and future happen at the same time and will always happen at the same time, then since day 1, all beings who whorshipped the sun, put affirmations into the sun, are all combined still looking into the sun right at this very moment. Every-being. Can anyone fathom this? Such an ENORMOUS focal point of good intention!! Whenever I contemplate about it, I am speechless and it feels completely true, to me.

The mystery of long hair and what it does to energies... in India (and I believe in parts of east-asia aswell) the hair-knot under the turban can be seen as a wonderful antenna for energies, directing them right into the crown. Altho from my memory I only know asian-hairstyles that have the hairknot at the natural hair-vortex at the back of the head, if I recall correctly

I guess I'll wait here until 5 of the random clowns are done with their humor and we can actually get down to synthesizing information. Thank you.

Simplicity is key. You will know why, in meditation. The simpler you lay out your meditation, the deeper you can actually focus on the practice itself. So you have an easy time to let go and let the process unfold. If you want to get into a full lotus position for example, you do not practice it and hope for a deep meditative state. Because at that time you first become aware of pain and how to deal with it. So sitting in a new and more advanced pose when-ever you dont want to go deep. But you will figure that out for yourself, no doubt. Forget third-eye openings. You open your heart first. And since it's the center, everything else will open (what might be blocked, over- or underactive). Your heart is your guide, from there we start. And since the heart is directly related to communication with your Higher Aspects, there is no doubt why one would want to open regions like the third eye first. I have experienced people who want to get into meditation just out of curiosity what mystic lies behind the 3rd eye are (obviously) still so heavily involved into processes of their ego, that their minds are a magnet for pure horror. Imagine yourself when parts...filter...open in your brain that you during your waking life have active so you dont get confused and can enjoy your "normal life" here on earth, when they open you see into your psyche with a magnifying glass. This is generally how our consciousness works, where ever you put your awareness, things expand and you dive Into it, As consciousness. So for example if one has still suicidal patterns in his mind from a hard time during youth, like I once had, those suicidal aspects are getting so huge, so big, too big for you to handle. Basicly we can see a "getting into meditation to open the third-eye" as someone who wants entertainment, same as taking an entheogenic trip (psychedelica) without propper guidance. And what results are psychic disorders. You open a tear in "your reality" and look through it, and what you see (in the end is just you...) but you will not identify it as yourself and see... fear, when you are feared maybe this is abit hard to understand in the first place, but one day a few months from now you will fully understand this. Like said, easy posture (cross legged), easy mudra (thumb+index on knees, palms up), close your eyes, focus on your breath until calm and then focus on your heart region until you feel pleasant feelings. And then from there miracles start to happen and you gradually awaken and become aware of your true nature. Have a wonderful time!

Dear ones, I have a simple question regarding tantric practices. I know from my own experience how "damaging" Sex can be when you practice meditation, that it basicly shuts all spiritual growth down for a period of time. Since I have fully witnessed the detrimental effects if - Sex in the usual way is truely over for me. This has become a no-brainer, period. But what when the time comes and life gives us a partner? Not as a test, more as a loving gift. How can we then interact in sexuality without losing (too much) Qi? I have heard that when a couple is in a loving relationship and has intercourse, which is then be practiced from a point of love and not from a point of manipulation or self-interest, then this can bring both into balance and neither of them loses anything. Is this true? I am looking for information of what a female partner can do to either quickly rebalance the man's Qi or at best: Not even drain him. Please feel free to share your life experience regarding this topic Kind regards, newbie warden of life force energy.

Thank you Jeff! Many blessings.

Let's also add the Sun Gazing techniques originated in India: Sun Gazing is spread all over the world and became quite famous now in the West by a man called HRM (Hira Ratan Manek). You can simply google him or even better, check youtube for videos where he explains everything. There are also many trustful sources on youtube nowadays, since mostly all of them come from HRM's super easy technique. How do you do it? You look Into the sun. Straight into it. You do this at sunrise or sunset. Or both. HRM's method is for people without intention. So most people who do not practice meditation or in general abandoned their natural heart's guidance. You add 10seconds each day up to 44minutes, which is ~ 9months of sun-gazing. Both feed barefoot on the ground. Like written below. The effects are felt immediately. I personally am at 8m50 and have felt the most right at the beginning and then it slowly throttles down until you again reach certain peaks. From personal experiences of others, they all cross eachother at around minute 15 where again your consciousness is boosted and you feel many phenomenas like in advanced mediation happening by themself. And then there are other stages during these 44mins where many more extraordinary things will happen. You also stand on the earth for 45minutes each day ontop of that. You have to do this for grounding, it really is a must. Sand works also, but pure mud or earth is the best. Avoid grass, since it's naturally competes with you as a human to get sun-energy aswell. Hunger is gone for most people who do not force this process at minute 30-35+. That is because your body is so charged by this natural energy, that it does not require anymore food intake. Remember: We only eat food primarily to get Chi out of it. So all your nourishment comes then Directly from a pure source, the sun. No second-/third-hand food anymore. Also it happens naturally that we do not have to sleep anymore. Our regeneration is boosted so much that it requires no heavy periods of rest, such as longer times of sleep anymore. Occasionally a nap is fine. There is no set-back when you have days with no sun. So you continue where you have been the last time you were gazing. If you have periods like I currently do in northern Europe with less sun and much cloudy weather, you repeat your last time and then continue normally. So gazing timer is at 3min30 and you experience not so wonderful weather for 1week+ continously, then you do not continue with 3min40, you do 3min30 again and the next day 3min30. Easy. When you are finished you rub both of your hands together and place them upon your eyes. This is called palming your eyes. We do this because then we absorb all the colors our psyche has avoided during the gazing. So we wait until the Whole picture in our sight is absorbed into our being and we only see blackness, no dots, pure blackness. This completes the sun-gazing process for that day. When you are conntected to your intention you can vary these times and gaze into the sun as long as you want. I personally do this but I still add 10sec each day. So I see my process complete after 44minutes and Not if I am able to go 44mins in one go. This process takes time, for everybody. This practice goes Wonderfully with meditation. Since you integrate all of the pure energy to transform your being. I would not say that throws aside such practices as Chi Kung / Qi Gong or Tai Chi - but when also Add these, you can be sure that you become a Taoist Immortal. Who ever has read or currently is reading Awakening Healing Light Of The Tao by Mantak Chia knows this process is just natural. We drop our animalistic roots and become somewhat like Gods again, like we once were. 500-1000yo sage, not a problem, because you will also automatically discard all your believes you have been fed by society and witnessed only how old a person can become nowadays.. merely 80, which is like an infant to what a Taoist Immortal once was. So sun gazing is VERY important for the health of our very being. You can see this practice as color- and light therapy. The highest form of it on this planet. To explain it easily understandable for anyone what happens in this process: You might have heard of the psychology of colors and that each color is associated with a different emotion. And now guess what! This also goes directly for the sun. The sun itself is pure in terms of the light it radiates. The sun therefor balances all the frequencies in your body that are associated with lower vibes and puts them into the right place. To formulate it understandably without going into much detail. Aside all wrong believes that sun-light is damaging to the eyes... sun-light is pure healing. YES, staring into the direct mid sun is heavily damaging your eyes, no doubt. That is why we go slowly and only do it for the time of being 1hour @sunrise and 1hour until sunset. But there are practices who can bring you there, to also use the noon-sun, which is 100fold high voltage to integrate it into your being (without being desintegrated first). There maybe are Taoist practices, I only know them as Sun-yoga. I assume that any professional meditator (not beginner, not advanced) can do this practice without harm. - Personally I have to say that I became such a sucker for these ancient techniques that I have already made my uncle addictd to them and the list goes on to who-ever is receptive to it, like people were literally Waiting for this information to be releaved again! And we all know that the vibrations of the earth have changed and that all energy practices nowadays are super easy to perfom and you can witness quantum leaps in your personal developments on a Daily Basis! I am really not kidding, since I experience this for myself. Now, get out there, abandon your ego and it's false excuse what you can not be (but already ARE!) and become your Own true master again!! We ARE in the Golden Age, we ARE the "Gods" that realize themselves! Break your bonds with society and realize your true self! For we are eternal and always will be. Love & light! PS: Any questions? Feel free to PM me.

Dear Ones, I ask this question because I am slowly getting away from my long years of gaming, to find what I have always seeked in those games: inner reality and it's infinity that is truely beyond any game. I must say that I am happy that I made it to a point where I can perceive lots of changes during my meditation, that I got beyond the greatgreat canyon of nothingness. But still I am sometimes looking "back" and see what new releases are coming out, just to find myself uninstalling those games quickly after, because they offer nothing profoundly new Currently waiting for WildStar, an MMO, to be released. But aside that I really dont have interest anymore. How about you? Is anyone here involved into practicing meditation and still playing games at the same time? I am curious how you handle things and not get dragged down into the pit of shame and guilt what "... you are actually doing with your precious time here on earth!"

That is pretty much what is happening all around me with animals, aswell. Mostly birds because I chose to interact more with them. Making friends everywhere. When you disolve, magic starts to happen I just reinstalled World of Warcraft and instantly noticed the incredible heavy impact on my solar plexus region and the dis-comfort when I quit after just a few minutes. I even felt that there was a "gap" in my day, today, where I installed and played this game. I was not available for my spirit it seems. I cant explain it otherwise. What a weird-weird feeling, somehow or something feared that I have lost the grip of my teachings I am currently on practicing. I went sun-gazing this evening and what a wonder... everything is back to normal. The gaming pc will be stored back into the closet until it's forgotten and sold or given away sometime soon Thanks for the feedback guys

Oh yes, no doubt. I am not involved in any religious practice. But good that you have mentioned it anyway. I even stated that I made my own experience with it. I'm not demonizing Sex, I have just witnessed of what it does to me and that is: I am not able to practice meditation for at least the next two days, because my back and shoulderblades hurt. Sitting upright is requires an unusual high amount of energy that is normaly done without any effort, for me. And then we have falling asleep rather than being concentrated. And the worst thing is, I am not getting into any deeper and meaningful trance for up to one week. Not to speak of what would be here already if I did not have Sex last weekend. Oh well, but it's a learning and time is obsolete, yes. So I am still interested what a woman can do, to do "her part" in exchanging creative energies during the act anyone?

If you now bring DMT into the game, you can shut this thread down - lol

Start with simple Satsang. Who are You that you call I? You have basicly listed what anyone would list that is on the way to discover his true self, but still stuck in what he or she calls "his life". If you truely want to find out who you are, beyond all these concepts.. ideas.. and memories.. than start to ask questions. Without questions, there is no need for a conversation.

Yes, that is compltely true. Newborn babies even still have the ability to not-see form as solid. Some beings keep this ability during their life here. So they can switch between solid edges and what we can not... see a transition between the object and that what is around it. But such things can also be trained if you see a certain application in your life and have in that way a good intention to manifest that "ability". The ancient method of sun-gazing for example can alter your vision over a few months / years of practice to see through matter. So that your eyes have the function of a microscope. Or eagle-vision. Dont ask me why one would want that - but if you want that, I am just saying this can be done.

Because everything beyond this plain hasnt a static form. So what people call soul has no static form. It is an every changing flux of light, so to speak. The most basic example is for yourself to describe us or anyone you like to a simple cloud - or draw a simple cloud in it's totality. And you will very soon figure out that this is impossible. A cloud is nothing fixed. You can only draw an idea of a cloud, but never the cloud itself. For that must mean you would have to create an animation instead of a static picture, that must move and change accordingly to the cloud. Such questions are funny indeed even how does a soul feel, or how does ones soul feel. Those feelings you get when you are deeper involved into yourself are so complex, they are truely beyond words. Just like the recent discovery I have made with a beautiful flower with SUCH AN incredible aroma! called "Heliotropium arborescens". The smell of these blossoms are so complex... people have gave her the utterly mundane name of "vanilla flower" HAHA because it also has beneath her approx perceived 1000 different type of aromas a scent of vanilla. I am no botanist, but even to me that is a disgrace. So similar things happen to what we can express beyond this realm... mostly anything. But... ...I think we are getting into an era where we invent something new. Maybe overlaying senses (visual and audible) which are then being perceived by other people. Hell our DNA is waiting and waiting for us to unlock it... what is it currently for the average human being? 4% unlocked? Makes me smile everytime

Dear ones, I seek clarification on how our earthly elements are related to our hands, our fingers. I have no personal contact to a healing practitioneer and so I have to do my own research. Since my perception of more subtle energies is not yet very skillful, I have to rely solely on the information of others. Now look at these differences... What is correct and most importantly Why? I am utterly confused, as you can imagine.

Not really locations obviously. Mudras are used to communicate on a level beyond language. You basicly form certain prisms with your hands to further direct certain elemental energies into your body, or from your body. This is where it gets interesting to perfectly understand each finger and their association with elements. Just imagine how you can imbalance your system by using wrong mudras or create even new mudras with a wrong understanding. Like a crazy scientist doing trial-and-error, slowly blowing himself up - lol

Religion always was a tool of power. Initially it might have been a re-creational act of what humans tried to express, what they have witnessed... such as the 'example' of one of many divine beings that were sent down here, what people call 'Jesus' and many others. They can be seen as an example what humans can be by themselves if they live fully in alignment with the universe/God/creator. In a vibrational sense, which is easy to comprehend for most spiritual people nowadays. And we are getting there, "super humans world-wide" blabla, the rediscovery of psychic powers are just the beginning etc. One can easily understand how hard it is to express something with words that is actually beyond words, when you just get on an average deep level in meditation. If you then want to express what you have witnessed, works similarly like in dreams: You basicly compress the huge information down to chunks of mystic symbolism that is rather abstract from the initial information but still somehow understandable for the perceiver. But when it then comes down to expressing the perceived... we have language, many languages... and this makes me *sigh* everytime I contemplate about it... since we dont have only one language, we have many. And this means even more filters. And this gets us sooooo far away from what happened, that it is obvious that many teachers have understood to teach only one thing nowadays: Search what you are looking for, call it God or whatever, by yourself. In yourself. Ask yourself, why does conspiracy interest you? Do you still like entertainment? Dont forget that this is just a game. And the sooner you realize this you automatically lay aside the remote control of the TV and their programs called your life, entertainment and society and step into REALITY. When this gradually happens, you literally can hear all of your spiritual guides make dances of joy "FINALLY, HE GOT IT!" - and from there life truely starts. The eternal life, with no end. In order to change what is, we have to put our focus away from what is to a future that looks different. When your focus is on what is you obviously get ... what is. So accept what is and design what will be in the next blink of an eye in 'your perfect world'.
